Episode 17: Unlocking the Science of Fat Loss, Muscle Growth & Metabolism with Dr. Bill Campbell
The House of Hormones Podcast with Leah Christian

When it comes to fat loss, metabolism, and muscle, the internet is overflowing with conflicting advice—and let’s be real, most of it just leaves us more confused. That’s why today we’re cutting through the noise with Dr. Bill Campbell—PhD in exercise science, researcher, and one of the leading experts in nutrition and physique science.

Dr. Campbell has spent his career studying how women can optimize fat loss, maintain muscle, and protect metabolic health—all without wrecking their hormones in the process. His evidence-based approach has made him a trusted voice in the health and fitness space, and today he’s here to give us the no-BS breakdown of how our bodies actually work.

In this episode, we cover everything from whether metabolism really slows down with age, to the role of protein intake, to the myths around women “getting bulky” from lifting weights. We also dive deep into how to diet without destroying your hormones, why strength training is the ultimate game-changer for women, and the science behind keto, intermittent fasting, and other popular diets.

If you’ve ever wondered how to fuel your body for long-term health, how to lose fat without losing your energy (or your sanity), or why women’s bodies are still so under-researched—this episode is a must-listen.

Grab your coffee, your protein shake, or whatever keeps you going—because this one is packed with science, strategies, and a whole lot of myth-busting. Let’s get into it. 🔥💪
